Hii. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm the 'new kid' on the forum for the time, I guess. I'm Eleanor, I'm fifteen and I live in England.
I was diagnosed with Scoliosis about 7 months ago now. My friend noticed my hip was much larger than the other, and after ignoring it for about a month, she finally persuaded me to go to the doctors!
When I went, as soon as I showed my doctor, he diagnosed me and booked a hospital X-Ray appointment. He didn't suggest anything I can do to improve it, and ridiculed most methods, such as exercise and a brace.
About a month later, I had the X-Rays and a consultation. My doctor didn't tell me what degree my Scoliosis is, although I do know it is only quite mild.
On the 2nd of October, I have another hospital appointment, for another X-Ray. If the degree of my curve has gotten higher, they will suggest for me to have an operation. It's a little nerve-wracking, but I could be in a worse position.
Thank you for reading,
Eleanor. xo
